New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) A delegation of diplomats from seven countries is visiting Bihar on Sunday as part of the BJP’s outreach program ‘Know the BJP’, an initiative launched by party national president JP Nadda.
The diplomats are on a two-day visit (November 2-3) to inspect the BJP’s election campaign in the state and gain insight into India’s democratic and electoral processes at the grassroots level.
According to a BJP press release, the delegation includes representatives from the embassies and high commissions of Japan, Indonesia, Denmark, Australia, the United Kingdom, Bhutan and South Africa. The diplomat will interact with senior BJP leaders, observe campaign activities and visit key constituencies to understand how the party connects with voters and manages large-scale election campaigns.
“The purpose of the visit is to acquaint the diplomats with the functioning, reach and organizational strength of the BJP, as well as provide an on-the-ground understanding of India’s electoral engagement at the grassroots level,” the statement said.
During their stay, the diplomats are scheduled to visit several constituencies in Patna, Nalanda and Gaya, where they will witness rallies, campaign meetings and booth-level coordination efforts. Senior BJP officials are expected to brief the delegation about the party’s digital outreach, volunteer structure and campaign strategy for the Bihar Assembly elections.
The visit to Bihar is coming a few days before the first phase of voting on November 6. The second phase of voting will be held on November 11 and the counting of votes will take place on November 14 as the state is likely to face a tough contest.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also coming to Bihar on Sunday for a one-day election campaign.
The Prime Minister will address two back-to-back rallies, the first in Arrah at 1.30 pm, followed by the second in Nawada at 3.30 pm.
He is scheduled to return to Patna around 5 pm, where he will also pay floral tributes at the statue of national poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. At 5.30 pm he will take part in a grand road show in support of NDA candidates in Patna.
